Default Why all the idiots??

I've gotten message after message from idiots in the UK about the two turbine jets I've got listed, they are IMO the same person, the last is pretending to be from Wyoming but the email address associated with the account is from the UK as was the first.

both joined today and have posted the most ignorant offers in the 'ask a question' section of my add.

first is lee123 http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/mem...m?memid=466592

next is kktc101 http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/mem...m?memid=466671



can we clean up the market place of this trash?

I am sorry you are having problems with other RCU members.

I am also sorry that I have to ask that you please refrain from name calling or belittling other members on this site. We are a family friendly site and all posts should remain so.

You are right, they are the same person. Both accounts have been deactivated.

In the future, if you are having a problem with another member, please use the Report Ad to Moderator link present in all ads instead of posting to the forums. This is a support forum that is intended to be used to help members with usage problems in the marketplace, not to report problems with other members.

Thank you

it's my ad, the ad is NOT the scam

it's their posts and emails that are the problem and there is no way to report them.

also, the second one has not been suspended (the first has)

Both accounts have been fully deactivated. I did this myself. It does not show up as suspended because it wasn't just suspended. The account, both actually, were fully deactivated.

When you use the Report Ad to Moderator tool, you can specify what it is you wish to report in the ad. Using the tool will bring attention to what is going on in your ad, not post an alert that the ad itself is the problem.
